Use

As a reference, this field contains the number of a message group, which is an optional feature when using EDI standards.

A message group can therefore only exist in the external EDI subsystem. Depending on the transmission direction, this number should:

  • either inform the SAP system via status confirmation: in this case, the last returned number is saved in the control record of the relevant outbound IDoc (from SAP).
  • or in inbound processing (from SAP), write to the field in the control record of the inbound IDoc.
